[QUOTE="dadside, post: 274545, member: 5707"] You need a couple of things for an IEP, the first being your son having one of a number of specified conditions, and the other being evidence that his learning is significantly hurt because of that condition that he needs special education and related services. It is especialy helpful if you know what kind of services he needs up front. The process is sort-of straightforward, but does have a lot of rules and required procedures, and understanding them (or having someone who does understand them to help you) is quite valuable in most places. Your local library may have books on the subject, or you might look at [URL="http://www.wrightslaw.com"]www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] for guidance. I suggest writing a letter requesting an IEP - following advice from a source such as sugested above. That should at least preclude any permanent expulsion on the 29th. For the moment you might omit any authorization to test/evaluate as that will start a 60-day time limit to complete the process, and I don't know that you have enough info without your son seeing the psychologist and you get a diagnosis and recomendations. Also, I suggest you not express your view that your son's behavior was partialy caused by his teacher - or the principal. I also wouldn't suggest the teacher leave a classroom with a violent kid, so sending another student may have been the only option for the help that was so clearly in order. [/QUOTE]
